Kurt Kasznar (born Kurt Servischer; August 12, 1913 – August 6, 1979) was an Austrian-American stage, film, and television actor who played roles on Broadway, appearing in the original productions of ''Waiting for Godot'', ''The Sound of Music'' and ''Barefoot in the Park'' and had many notable parts in television and feature films. "A big, glib, dapper man who spoke with an accent, he was almost always cast as some sort of a Continental gentleman," reported ''The New York Times''. As a soldier in World War II Kasznar was among the first U.S. Army photographers to film the ruins of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.〔Fraser, C. Gerald, "Kurt Kasznar dies; Broadway actor." ''The New York Times'', August 8, 1979〕 ==Early life== Kurt Kasznar was born Kurt Servischer on August 12, 1913, in Vienna, Austria-Hungary (today: Austria). His father left the family when Kurt was very young. After his mother married Hungarian restaurateur Ferdinand Kasznar, Kurt assumed his surname. While working as an apprentice waiter at his stepfather's restaurant, Kasznar met director Max Reinhardt and enrolled in his seminars. "There I learned to act, write, build sets and live," Kasznar said later.〔 At age 11 Kasznar appeared in ''Der Zirkuskönig'' (''The King of the Circus'', 1924), the last movie made by Max Linder, which was filmed in Vienna. Kasznar began working on the stage in 1931, in a performance of ''Everyman'' at the Salzburg Festival.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kurt Kasznar」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
